Here is an email from the author from the Knitting Univers (Knitters) site (one would think she could have finished up in over 9 years!):<br /><br />Date: Wed, 06 Dec 2000 22:31:19 -0800<br />From: June H Hiatt <br />Subject: Knit U: Principles of Knitting<br />Dear Helen:<br />Thank you for your interest in Principles of Knitting, which has indeed been<br />selling for rather remarkable prices since it went out of print at the end<br />of 1996. A little over a year ago I decided that rather than allowing it to<br />be reprinted, I wanted to do a second edition (this means the book will be<br />substantially revised and redesigned). Unfortunately, I have only been able<br />to turn my full attention to it recently.<br />At this point I have done a preliminary rewrite and now, in an effort to<br />make the new edition as complete as possible, I am researching techniques<br />that were not available to me when I wrote the book in the mid-1980s. There<br />have been so many new, wonderful books published in the last 10-15 years,<br />and I am really enjoying the opportunity to immerse myself in the<br />contributions of the talented knitters who brought them to us. The next<br />phase will be a final rewrite, then the illustrations will need some<br />revisions and additions before the book is ready for the design and<br />production phase. It is, as you can imagine, a very big project and at this<br />time I do not know how long it will take me. The first edition took seven<br />years; I am hoping this one will take no more than half that. However, when<br />one heads into uncharted territory, it is difficult to predict how long the<br />journey will be!<br />Needless to say, it is very gratifying to know of the continued interest in<br />my book and I am as eager as anyone for it to be available once again. You<br />can be sure that the members of KnitU will be notified as soon as a new<br />publication date is set.<br />Thank you,<br />June Hemmons HiattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9126905693349471265.post-91619634332328413662010-03-31T17:40:44.904-04:002010-03-31T17:40:44.904-04:00What I read on a knitting list (perhaps the Knit L...What I read on a knitting list (perhaps the Knit List) was that the author owned the rights & she was updating it & planned to republish it.
